Cancun

[Aguinnes]

I'm planning my 1st trip to Cancun this summer. I've got my hotels narrowed down to 3 places:

Iberostar.

Gr caribe by solaris.

Sunset royal.

All are all inclusive, priced from most to least. Any suggestions?

The first two appear to be pretty far south. You will be taking the bus or cab anytime you want to go anyplace. The third is right in the middle of the action in the hotel zone (coco bongo, hooters, etc) and very close to the most popular public access beach (meaning lot's of locals to check out). The third is also much closer to the city if you want to go there. For me it would be a no brainer to go with the third because I like to get out and about. Depends on what you like.

Folks,

As many can relate, I'm also looking for options while on vacation in Cancun. I did run across a few potential options on Back Page and was wondering if anyone had any experience with such. CL also has a couple of interesting looking prospects; however, I put those at 25% at best.

Hello members,

I will be traveling to Cancun this month and was wondering if someone can tell me about the In's and Out's of the local scene here. I don't speak spanish but my buddy does. We will be in some Fiesta hotel, he said it was very nice. We both are more interested in nightlife scene here. What are the best night clubs out there? Where do majority of the hot girls hang around? Is it easy to pickup girls out there? Any recommendations for strip clubs? Any particular places during the day to visit? Are there any escorts out there as well, if so, can someone tell the price range that we should be expecting?

Your help in this forefront is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info from fellow members.

I was wondering about the cabs, in some places, the cabs can be a dangerous ride. I am not worried about the cost difference really.

Cabs in Cancun are safe. Pretty affordable downtown where you are staying. Prices get jacked up in the hotel zone.

Where do these girls hang out?

You mentioned they took you into a store? What store?

Damn this is funny.

Cancun offers free or cheap BJs.

First time in Cancun: Was walking back to hotel after a nogo with Venezuelan I picked up at Coco Bongos. When a chica asked if I wanted $20 BJ. I remember reading another travel forum that warned this was a rip off scam. Hell yea. She led in store and I stood there as she unzipped me and started CBJ. I sobered up quickly and looked down right as she was getting my wallet pocket unbuttoned. I yelled and of course she started calling me crazy and no HE.

An hour later: packed empty wallet with MEX and a few Washingtons, about $6 total in pocket with difficult button. Met another chica in same area offering $20 BJ. Hell yes. Got a decent CBJTC, went home happy, and she even put the wallet back empty of course.

Lesson keep a fat worthless wallet in back pocket and get $26 BJ in tourist zone and beat ripoff artists at their own game.

I think I will take the shuttle because that has been my first chance of hooking up when I travel. I found that women are nervous when first traveling abroad. If you have been to that place before and know your way around, you can make friends quick. In my case, I can speak the language.

It's good that the shuttle will makes stops before it arrives to my hotel, that gives me a chance to scope out the area and maybe see something of interest. I was wondering about the cabs, in some places, the cabs can be a dangerous ride. I am not worried about the cost difference really.

I just saw on the news this morning that the taxis are demonstrating in Cancun. I was actually going to Thailand when I decided to change to a place I thought was peaceful! Haha, what's going on in this world nowadays? I won't be in Cancun until mid March, so hopefully they will have settled their differences.

I plan to go on some tour, I won't decide until I get there. Tours are great for meeting people. I live in Las Vegas and people come here to "hook up". I know people will hook up, because this is their chance to do something naughty and nobody knows! I get a lot of putang because I had figured out a long time ago that people go to vegas to have a good time. This is why I can't get serious with anyone with daily opportunities.

Okay back to Cancun. I try to play off the locals. There is nothing like shagging a native that woke up that day and was not thinking of screwing, especially a foreigner. I do like MP's for my P4P. I also took note to the escort lead left by a member. I may decide to give them a call. My hopes is to hook up with a local who wants to show me her dear city. I usually go to a foodcourt and pick out someone of interest and offer to pay for her lunch. At this time, you tell them you are visiting and ask about the good and bad of their town.

If I am feeling that the meeting is going my way then I would ask to hang out with her. If I feel she is just happy to be getting a free meal then I ask if she has any single friends to accompany me. Usually if a woman will have lunch with you, something will come from that. I am always respectful wherever I go. They already know we foreigners want one thing so lets no kid ourselves. I will report back if La Quinta is chica friendly.

Mske sure you avoid going near near or into the lagoon. Damn Cancun has been dumping its sewage into that lagoon for decades. It smells like shit!

The long beach in Zona Hotelerias is nice, clean, warm with Aquamarine-clear water. But avoid beaches on the North and South ends because sewage-laden water from the lagoon egress into the ocean at both ends. the water there just stink.

There are buses every 5 minutes making a round circle between Zona Hotelerias and donwtown Cancun for like 10 pesos, so it is very convenient.

Everything on sale on Zona Hotelerias, including pussies, can be bought in downtown stores for 1/5 tourists' prices. There are women walking in Zona offering sex, but they are mostly older, ugly, and wanted ridiculous $300-$500 for a fuck. Fuck that. Just tell them to go fuck a buffalo.

I will be going to Cancun next month-mid month. I got a hotel at La Quinta, there wasn't anything on this board about hotels so I did some research via youtube and other searches and decided on the Downtown area. The hotel zone by aerial view looked too logistically challenging.

I got the best deal through Priceline. They didn't offer transportation options and the hotel doesn't have a shuttle service. I didn't read anything as far as a heads up on the taxis, what precautions should I take to get to my hotel?

I speak spanish but I want to do this trip as if I were someone who only speaks english. I will act like I am struggling to do business with them in engish and see how much they "try" to help me, and listen how they talk about me.

I only plan to see the ruins and check at the tour desk what else they have. I hate commercial type tours.

I will hopefully find a local and see if I can get her to be my tour guide. I don't do bars but I do love clean MP's. I wish there were more reports on this thread so I could have more ideas to try.

Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Taking a cab from the airport is simple and safe. There is a large desk right before you exit the airport that sells taxi, collectivo, and bus tickets. A taxi will run you about $400 MX (fastest) , a collectivo will be about $150 MX (but will make a bunch of stops in the hotel zone) , and the ADO bus to downtown Cancun about $80MX (no stops in between and from there it is a short $50 MX taxi ride to your hotel). Personally, I would take the ADO but I have done this many times and know the area well.

Health body spa is about 3 blocks from your hotel (google nube #44 B SM 4 Cancun mexico). It is a plain white building on a residential street (fine to walk during the day)

Avenue Yaxchilan between Coba and Uxmal have several good restaurants frequented by locals.

I found 3 strip clubs in centro I don't think have been mentioned here before. They are all within 1-3 blocks of the corner of Lopez Portillo and Uxmal.

First one is on the south side Portillo about a block east of Uxmal called Infinitum. Biggest dive of the 3. One long stage in the center with tables surrounding it. Privado booths are small and dirty with just a chair to sit on. 200 pesos for a private dance. They have a nicer private room for 760 pesos plus whatever the girl wants for her services. The girls strip on stage here.

The second one is on the west side of Uxmal about a block south of Portillo. I can't remember the exact name but it has a big obvious neon sign out front. 100 peso cover. This place was the best pure strip club. Reasonably clean with good talent level. Girls were constantly on stage getting nude. Decent privado booth for 150 pesos per song.

The third place was called Marque de Candella or something close to that. It is a half block off of Uxamel on 35 Nte (3 blocks south of Portillo). They just do lip synch karaoke on the stage here but they have the nicest private area of the three upstairs. Large area with big comfortable couches. 200 pesos for private dances. The only problem with this place is a lot of the girls don't really hang out in the bar area so it is hard to see all the girls. You need to catch them hanging out near the entrance. Maybe ask the guy at the door to show you more.

All 3 places had at least two girl I would consider solid 8's. The girls get freaky in the private dances and will give out digits. I arranged to meet a really hot girl at a motel (not take out, next day when she wasn't working).400 pesos for the room and 1500 for the girl which is just under $150 all in but this girl was at least a 9 looks wise and performed great. I have no regrets.

If you speak some spanish and are comfortable navigating centro I recommend checking these 3 places out. You can hit all 3 in 3 hours easy. Google street view is from 2009 and none of these places were in business then so you won't see them with that search.

One more thing. Club Fantasy is officially closed. It has been replaced by a reasonably nice restaurant. The guy seating people got a good laugh at the confused look on my face when I walked in.

Went to Cancún durning Christmas. Visited Mary Cancún first and was told all the chicas are out. Visited again and was shocked at the price (1500pesos for 1hr. 3-4 chicas from 5-6, and was told I could only do 1 time). Went to SPA Chocolate but didn't find it, probably just closed. Found another small house near SPA chocolate, near Av Uxmal / Laurel and on Laurel. It is just a resident building with some handwritten '1 hora' sign on it, and an 'abierto' sign. Knocked on the door and told them for servicio completo, got a quote for 500 pesos 20 mins. There are 2-3 chicas from 4-6. This service include CBJ, multiple positions. In all Cancúand is not a good place for mongering, everyone just want to make easy money from tourists. Save your money and go for some better places.

Hi Guys,

I am photographing a wedding in Cancun in January. I have just got back from Thailand and really enjoyed it. What is mongering like in Cancun? The $$ quoted is that $US? Sorry no nothing about this place, hence this is my first post.

I shoot weddings as well. Mainly in the States but doing Florida soon, I'm in the Midwest. I'm curious if we have met professionally!
